Especially in matters of race, class, and gender, the volatile views this iconic American author expressed in classics like <em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> continue to provoke heated debate among antagonistic culture-war factions. However, when citing his withering attacks on religion, believers and atheists alike are often united in concluding that Twain was either a mocking skeptic or a hostile atheist.</p><p>In <em>There is No Humor in Heaven,</em> Dwayne Eutsey challenges the persistent view of Twain as a hostile critic of religion by placing him within the prevailing liberal religious ethos of his time. From Hannibal to the western frontier and from Hartford to the wider world, Eutsey contends Twains vocation as a humorist was rooted in his frustrated youthful ambition to become a preacher of the Gospel.
